£25,500 Compensation Recovered for HGV Driver Injured in Road Traffic Accident

Successful Road Traffic Accident Claim for HGV Driver

Aston Knight Solicitors recently recovered £25,500 in compensation for a client who suffered injuries in a serious road traffic accident involving a heavy goods vehicle (HGV).

Our client, Mr. N, was driving his HGV when a third-party motorist collided head-on with his vehicle, causing soft tissue injuries to his neck, back, and right shoulder. As a professional driver, Mr. N’s primary concern was returning to work as quickly as possible.

Immediate Legal Support and Early Admission of Liability

After contacting our specialist personal injury solicitors, Mr. N instructed us to pursue his road traffic accident claim. We immediately submitted the claim to the third-party insurance company. Thanks to our swift action and detailed case presentation, we secured an early admission of liability, meaning the third-party insurer accepted fault for the accident.

Private Physiotherapy and Early Rehabilitation

We understand how important early treatment is for recovery and maintaining employment. Our solicitors negotiated with the third-party insurer to fund private physiotherapy treatment, allowing Mr. N to begin rehabilitation without delay. Access to early treatment significantly helped to reduce his symptoms and supported his recovery.

Expert Medical Evidence to Prove Injury Severity

In all personal injury claims, it is vital to prove:

• Liability – that the third party was at fault
• Causation – that the injuries were caused by the accident
• Quantum – the extent of injury and financial loss

To build a strong case, we instructed highly regarded orthopaedic experts, including a shoulder and spinal surgeon, who assessed Mr. N’s injuries. We arranged for private MRI scans of his spine and shoulder, ensuring no injuries were missed. These scans allowed our experts to produce detailed medical reports outlining the long-term effects on Mr. N’s health and ability to work.

£25,500 Personal Injury Settlement

After disclosing the medical evidence to the third-party insurer and engaging in negotiations, we were pleased to secure a £25,500 compensation settlement for Mr. N. The amount covered his injuries, private treatment, pain and suffering, and loss of amenity. Mr. N was extremely satisfied with the outcome, which exceeded his expectations.
